Eyewear/Face Protection.

    I recently acquired my first Airsoft gun (a very nice, full metal, SRC A3 M16; for those of you who care to know) and I am looking to buy some of the necessaries for going skirmishing.

    Specifically I am looking to but something to protect my eyes. I am interested in anything at all; Goggles, glasses, facemasks, or whatever. Pictures of what you are offering are a must.

    As people put up offers come in I may edit this with more specifics.

    I have a pair of these : TMC%20Metal%20Mesh%20DL%20style%20Goggle%20BK.jpg

    Looking for a tenner with around €5 postage, will post real pic if you're interested?

    I can wait for you to see what other offers you get, cos I haven't offered these to anyone else.

    EDIT: BTW have not been skirmished as I got a pair of glasses instead and they didn't fit well with my lower face mask. Glasses also fit behind the goggles too.

    I would like to wait and see what others offer. That being said, mesh is good because fogging up is something I am worried about, so I am definately interested.

    How bulky are they and how much do they effect peripheral vision and the use of sights/scopes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,757 ✭✭✭richieffff


    They're fairly wide but that makes for good peripheral vision and of course no fogging :D. I don't think they affect looking through a scope but I'll check anyway.

    Would you like me to upload some pics?

    And I don't mind waiting until after other offers.

    I am just a bit paranoid about fogging. I know they are supposedly anti-fog but everyone I know who airsofts has just as much fogging problems with 'anti-fog' lenses as regular ones.

    How do you find it, is it bulky? Does it hinder vision? Does it fog easily? And is it scratched or damaged in any way?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,757 ✭✭✭richieffff


    Fogging can easily be solved by rubbing shaving foam on the lens and wiping off, you may need to do this once or twice but it works on my goggles.

    Thanks for the tip... although that would mean I would have to start buying shaving foam xD

    Well thanks for the offer. I will consider it and let you know. If you you sell it in the mean time I understand.

    Goggles bought from Chefburns from his sales thread. So I no longer require anything, thanks for the offers lads.
